New Frontiers in Extracellular Matrix Biology

Saturday, February 8
12:45 pm – 2:45 pm

This meeting will include a keynote presentation by Dr. Manuela Gomes followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Gomes and other experts in the field extracellular matrix biology and bioengineering to discuss new directions and innovations related to tendon extracellular matrix and proteomics research. Question and answer-based discussion from the audience is encouraged. We will also feature PhD- and MS-level student finalists in the 3 Minute Thesis Competition. The goal of this meeting is to facilitate connections and discussion by our members and guests and move our field forward in thinking broadly and collaboratively. ORS attendees who are not yet Tendon Section members are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in this open meeting to broaden the impact of tendon research being done by the ORS community.
